The appointment of a School Board, under the new Education 

 Act, woiild seem to render undesirable any separate action by the 

 Corporation. The public interest will be best served by uniting 

 the whole system of elementary education, , where the cost is 

 defrayed out of public funds, in one central authority for the 

 borough. Should this course be determined on, this Committee 

 win have the satisfaction of feeling that two large elementary 

 Schools will be handed over to the new Board in two of the most 

 central localities, in a complete and organised condition.
